Hi Declan, if you graphics card can support the slightly different timing of the Mac, you might be lucky. My first color monitor was a NEC 3D (which after 15 years is still around - after 4 years the fly-back transformer exploded, but who cares, monitors were still expensive in 1994...).
This monitor came with an adapter plug to match the Apple connector. Here is more on the pin-out: http://www.hardwarebook.net/connector/av/maclcvideo.html http://developer.apple.com/technotes/hw/hw_08.html Yesterday I salvaged a General Radio 1211-B oscillator from the electronics trash container at our institute. See the section "engineering finesse" on this page: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ram/electro/gr/ Now I have to build an 300V + 6.3V supply to get it working again - a nice challenge would be: a switch-mode power supply to drive a tube oscillator ;-} Uwe. > Mac monitors have a 15-way "D" - the standard type. Short of this, > are they a directly compatible with PC monitors? -- Author: Uwe Zimmermann INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Hosting, San Diego, California -- http://www.fatcity.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB CHIPDIR-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
